The History of modern yoga.

History Of Yoga Vedic Period

The prehistoric texts of Vedas are the oldest scriptures throughout the world. The Sanskrit word Veda means “knowledge” and rig means “praise.” Thus, the Rig Vedas are a collection of introits that are in praise of a higher power. Other three Vedas are Sama Veda which means “Knowledge of chants”, Atharvana Veda refer as “knowledge of Atharvana” and Yajur Veda generally known as “knowledge of sacrifice”.

Vedic Yoga can as well be called antiquated Yoga, as people believed in a ritualistic way of life. Traditions, sacrifices, and rituals existed since they were considered a means of connection with the spirit world. People diverted to rishis or Vedic yogis for illumination. Vedic gurus were blessed by a vision of the supreme reality, and their songs of praise speak of their amazing gut feelings.

The Classical Period Yoga History

This involves an expansive era of approximately 2,000 years up to the time of the second century. Gnostic books called the Upanishads, that spoke in specify about the self and fundamental realism appeared. There are more or less 200 Upanishads. One of the most notable yoga scriptures is the Bhagavad-Gita, that was composed approximately 500 B.C.The central instruction of the Gita is, to do ones’ duty and not anticipate the fruit of the action.

In 1200 BC, the great teacher Rishaba, who was the supporter of the tradition of Jainism, also pointed up on efforts devoted to the liberation from the spirit.It was through this time, that Yoga established its way into Buddhism too; Lord Buddha was the first Buddhist to study Yoga.

Patanjali believed that everyone is imperturbable of matter (prakriti) and spirit (purusha).

He recommended that yoga would rebuild the spirit to its complete reality, a guidance that saw a shift from non dualism to dualism. This era in yoga looks after the teachings of Vedanta, that there is greatest unity in everything in the universe. Vedanta is the thoughtful system based on the teachings of the Upanishads.

The earlier centuries saw yogis laying attention only on meditation and contemplation. Their ambition was to shed their mortal coils and unite into the infinite; however, for the time during this period, yogis started to probe the hidden powers over the body. Yoga masters designed higher yogic practices that would refresh the body and perpetuate its life. This led to the birth of Hatha Yoga that is practiced throughout the world now as days.

They dismiss the teachings of yoga described in the ancient Vedas and adopt the physical body as the means to achieve wisdom. They developed Tantra Yoga, with revolutionary techniques to cleanse the mind and body to break the knots that bind us to our physical existence. The creation of these physical-spiritual connections placing body at the counterpoint led to the creation of “Hatha Yoga”.
